Hope for luck

Chapter 347
In the main hall of Du's house, Du Xiangjun was thinking about things while anxiously waiting for some news.

After a while, I saw the shrewd Steward Du rushing in, panting heavily:
"...Old...Master, it's terrible, there are [-] troops from outside the city, all of them are tall and powerful, dressed in armor, holding spears, and fluttering banners..."

After Du Xiangjun heard the news, his face was full of surprise:
"Is what you said true? Has Dongshan really changed?"

Butler Du nodded quickly:

"No mistake, they headed west. The long line, from beginning to end, walked for half an hour before disappearing!"

After Du Xiangjun heard this, he knew that Steward Du was exaggerating, but he also understood that Dongshan has really changed now!

"Hurry up, go prepare the silver taels, and go to see the officials of Yan State's government, as long as we bow first, we may have something to do with it!"

Suddenly remembered something, Du Xiangjun's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ordered.

But Butler Du said with a bitter face:

"Master, we don't know where their officials are at all. If they are in other counties, we can go to the county government. Now the magistrates and others in other counties have been replaced by their people, but our Dantang County has not changed!"

After hearing this, Du Xiangjun felt a little strange:
"Why is this?"

Butler Du cautiously replied:
"I don't know about the villain, I only know that Gao Pan has a good relationship with them, so he has not been replaced. Not only that, even the county magistrate and others have not been replaced..."

These words made Du Xiangjun stunned for a moment, then clapped his palms, and said bitterly:
"Oh, this Gao Pan is really slippery like a monkey, how can he even escape such a thing..."

In the past few days, news from other surrounding counties has also spread, and it has also been known that many county government officials were killed.

But now that Du Xiangjun knew about it, he secretly regretted that Gao Pan could even escape such a catastrophe.

However, after thinking about it, Du Xiangjun understood that since Gao Pan has a good relationship with the newly established Great Yan Kingdom, wouldn't it be the same to go directly to please Gao Pan?
But asking him to please an enemy, Du Xiangjun thinks he can't do it, even though he has no intention of seeking revenge on Gao Pan, if he is asked to let go of his hatred and curry favor with Gao Pan, he can't do it.

"It's not good...it's not good! Master...Master, many people have come outside and surrounded our house!"

At this moment, a servant rushed here and uttered a frightening news in horror.

After hearing this, Du Xiangjun was horrified:

"Who is it? They want to surround our house? What do they want?"

As soon as the words fell, a voice took over:
"It's us! I am the envoy in front of the Palace of Great Yan, but you are the master of this house? Your name is Du Xiangjun?"

Then, I saw a general in armor walking in swaggeringly.

In front of them were some servants of the Du Mansion, who seemed frightened by the Yan soldiers behind and rushed all the way to the main hall.

Seeing this, Du Xiangjun hurriedly walked up tremblingly, and shook his head:

"It's a villain, the villain Du Xiangjun, I have seen the envoy in front of the palace, but I don't know why the lord came here?"

After hearing this, the leading Yan Bing general drew out his long sword without saying a word, and stabbed Du Xiangjun to death with one blow.

This made the other servants of the Du family watch this scene in horror, and did not speak for a long time.

"I have issued an order to kill rich gentry and equalize the land property. All rich and unkind gentry, regardless of whether they have made mistakes or not, will be killed without mercy..."

The leading Yan Bing general held a long sword, pointed at the sky, and shouted loudly.

As he spoke, he pointed his sword at a group of servants of the Du family:
"Among you, do you have any extra land in your family? Or do you have a lot of tenants? Stand up on your own initiative. If you are found out by the official, it will not be so easy..."

These servants of the Du family were already frightened to death. After hearing what he said, how dare they admit that their master Du Xiangjun died in front of them, and his body was not even cold.

"Since that's the case, obediently go and stand at the front, and wait for this official to review them one by one. If you find that you have extra property in your family, hum! Let's see how this official punishes you..."

For example, the general of Yan Bing, under the name of the so-called 'expropriation envoy in front of the palace', directly surrounded the mansion of the rich gentry and killed the master inside. This kind of action came from Ning Yan's will.

Gao Pan's proposal made her very conceited, and she felt that Gao Pan had suggested a clever plan to her.

First of all, by killing these wealthy gentry and raiding their homes, they can get a huge amount of wealth, among which food is the most scarce thing in their Dayan right now.

Secondly, the fields occupied by these wealthy gentry can be distributed to the poor and poor people, so that these people can truly understand their policies of the Great Yan Kingdom, and let more people understand that only by following the Great Yan Kingdom can they live a good life.

In the end, for Ning Yan, this was a 'trick' proposed by Gao Pan, the purpose of which was to make her afraid to use it.

But she insisted on using it, and using it well, to prove to Gao Pan how rich the heritage accumulated by the ancestors of the Ning family was, and she also wanted to see how Gao Pan was dumbfounded at the end.

Therefore, not long after Gao Pan put forward the proposal, Ning Yan had someone draw up an order and conveyed it to various prefectures and counties in Dongshan.

Naturally, Dantang County was the first place to respond. Early in the morning, all kinds of "expropriation envoys in front of the hall" took people from house to house, and started the action of "beating landlords and dividing land property".

For example, the Du family was the first batch of targets to be hit. Just ask a little bit, and anyone can know how much land the Du family owns in Dantang County.

In half a day, more than a dozen rich gentry's homes were completely confiscated, and all the contents inside were emptied by the Yan soldiers, including the servants, especially the female servants, who were the targets of the Yan soldiers.

……

……

On a flat ground on the east side of Fuyang Mansion in the Central Plains, a group of officers and soldiers with elongated shadows appeared. This was the order of Emperor Zun Tianfeng, to suppress the officers and soldiers of the Dayu Dynasty who came to suppress the 'Yan Ni'.

It took about ten days, the army of about [-] people gathered from all over the place, and the leader was Gao Qiyin.

Although he is a frontier general, but at this time the battle is tense, he has already taken over the officers and soldiers assembled from all over the place, commanding them, and seeking rebellion according to the order.

It will take a month for the officers and soldiers assembled from the nine sides to come here.

Behind Gao Qiyin, there were two young generals, one of whom was Gao Guanglu who had just entered the battlefield.

The other is much older than Gao Guanglu, about 25 or [-] years old, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a dignified appearance, but he is almost as handsome as Gao Pan.

This young man is Gao Guangcheng, the eldest son of Gao's family who drove home from Jiubian.

Originally, he couldn't catch up with the purpose of suppressing the riot. He was about to go home to reunite with his family, but he received an order from Gao Qiyin on the way, so he had no choice but to come to meet him.
